Garden Flower Cigarette Cards

felicity1979 — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 21:19:31 +0000

I love these old cigarette cards and I have a few little bundles of them, some which have been stuck into the albums they were made for. This is the garden flowers collection issued with Wills Cigarettes in 1939. They are illustrated by the famous flower illustrator Richard Sudell. I have a slight issue with the need to colour code things, so that is what I did and now I want to do more.

The wedding party invites

We wanted our invites to be capture the theme of the party, so I consulted my friend Natascha and commissioned her to create something that not only did this but reflected us and our interest for the ‘handmade’ too.

Earlier this year she had produced the most beautifully wrapped gift for my birthday, each side of the box had a letter of my name and on each letter was perched a different monochrome bird, the paper sealed at the top with a red wax seal. I was blown away by the thought and effort that had gone into this and knew that I wanted something along these lines for our wedding invites.

These are the finished product, printed on recycled Manilla card, wrapped in recycled sugar paper and sealed with her signature wax seal. The fonts she selected reflect the midcentury theme, she also included some personalised wedding party tattoos for our guests, the design of which is so cool my mum is making it into a tapestry cushion. I love how creativity breeds creativity and now I have to admit I’m very excited!

Aunty Em’s new family pad

This week I visited my best friend’s new Flat above a large pub nestled into the corner of some cute Victorian terrace houses in Streatham.

As I live with my family in a ‘cosy’ cottage, I couldn’t help but envy the vast amount of space their new home offers. In fact there is so much room that Pearl and Harlen were riding their tricycles around the sitting room most of the afternoon.

I love her collections of retro china, 1960s furniture and lighting. Her and Pete have made a gorgeous home for their little boy and tiny new kitten.
